Thanks to Alex (ST12AT) for sending me the link to this car.....

I was trying to find which Magma Red car this one was for my Register. I filtered on the colour, seat, sound combo and the only car that came up had more miles than this one. Stumped. I then checked their website to find out this car has never come up for sale before and is in unique paint of Bailey Rouge! I’ve always wondered what shade this car was having never seen a photo.
It’s S00191, a 2009 car with only 6200 miles, with lightweight seats and B&O. So due to the rarity, spec and mileage the selling dealer has been optimistic with their pricing, but someone may be willing to snap this one up even at this asking price.....

I don’t think this is badly priced to be fair. Car is in great condition, low miles, good spec and a rare colour.

Very nice. A bit too much carbon on the interior for my taste but that is so damn close to Magma its unreal ... a tad pricey though unless prices are on the up ?

Hi Adam - can you elaborate on what “Special Wishes” is as I’ve never heard of this before?
Also, I’m presuming the glossy interior carbon is non-AM?

Nice car and colour. Worth a premium due to condition, spec and low mileage.
« Special wishes lifting front speakers that were to feature in the V12S. ‘
Special order lightweight seats.
B&O and lightweight seats have always been an optional extra from the original V12 Vantage onwards so I don’t know what they’re on about.
And why would you have your car serviced after just 85 miles and 11 months?
Unnecessary IMO but it shows the owner was meticulous.

Looks like a very well cared for example. Unusual colour and some desirable extras too. The pricing may be a little optimistic, but it certainly looks like a unique car, so who knows. Never been a huge fan of red cars myself, but it does look very nice in that colour. Would be interested to know why it’s up for sale though. The original (maybe current) owners seem to have an interesting story!

Best Regards

No, it states 985 miles.

Take a closer look at that list though.

'Service History
30/10/12 – 2800 Miles

Anti-Corrosion Inspections
3rd Year 30/10/12 – 3174 Miles'

Has the dealer been joyriding? - wink

What a beautiful car, love it ! As for the price i see the Orange Carbon Black car is up for sale also 20k something miles and is asking the same price as this so i would say this is well priced for a unique car.

Wow, that`s had the Q stick thrown at it! Looks great and quite unique, I`m sure the spec and low mileage will be perfect for someone looking for a mint condition V12V

Shame about the naff dedication door sill plate, I'd rather drive a mini than a car with some other bloke's vanity glued on it.

You can quickly swap it out for a normal plate I believe.

IIRC, Im running S192, the next one off the line. A few extra miles (not many more), no B&O. I'll give anyone a £10k discount less than S191 for takers?

Interesting wing mirror struts - carbon or a warp. Given the owner probably carbon and wonder where they came from??
